The latest graffiti to splatter itself across the stores,
buildings, and street signs in Elk Grove, Calif., comes not
from a can of Krylon spray paint or a day-glow marker but from an
Atari 2600.

Images of Space Invaders, the relentless 8-bit animations from
the classic 1980s arcade game, are being adhered all over the
city reported
Fox40 News. The iconic aliens are cropping up all over
town , including local store signs. But they aren't always
resonating with observers.

"I don't know what they are or what they are about. Hopefully you
guys can give me some info on them," said the manager of area
restaurant Hometown Buffet, when a reporter pointed out the alien
on his sign.

Fox40's weatherman Dennis Shanahan -- and resident video game
buff -- had a strong memory of the old Atari 2600 video game.

"I can see my work in the streets of the city, it's fantastic,"
said 'Space Invader' in a documentary titled Exit Through The
Gift Shop.

Space Invader's art is all about hanging tiled images from old
arcade games on buildings and walls. The Space Invaders in Elk
Grove are likely a homage, however: In April of this year police
arrested a man they believe is Space Invader in Los Angeles.
